Adrienne + Mike : Disney Fairy Tale Wedding

October 8, 2024 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Adrienne and Mike met in college at St. John’s University. We shared a film class senior year, but I had already known Mike as “the guy that worked in the Mac lab.” They went separate ways after college and reconnected on Instagram. Adrienne got a puppy, Mike started to comment on every story she posted of him, and the rest is history!

Mike planned to propose in Walt Disney World before their first-ever Disney Cruise, but Hurricane Ian had other plans. After four canceled flights to Orlando, they made it down *just* in time to board the Fantasy. Plan B it was! Mike proposed in the Atrium stairs on their way to Palo (the fancy restaurant!) After their proposal, it wasn’t much of a stretch to see why they chose a Walt Disney World wedding and Disney Cruise Line honeymoon! :)

After spending most of her life dreaming of being a Disney bride, Adrienne stumbled upon the magic of Carrie Hayward’s wedding planning trip report and thus found our photos. From her first inquiry, she wrote, “I knew then I would not only be a Disney bride, but a Root Lifer,” and Nate and I melted and we were beyond honored she asked us to be her wedding photographer. <3

Not me and Cathryne Martell taking a pair of children’s scissors to the bottom of Adrienne’s dress because she kept tripping over it!

I love catching that “omg, I’m a Disney bride!” moment. :)

Abby + Ethan : Rainy Disney Wedding

October 5, 2024 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Abby and Ethan heard about us our favorite way: from past Root couples! :)

They met each other in college and are both Disney people- after frequent visits to Orlando and Disney, they knew exactly where they wanted to get married! :)

While we wish on wedding days we could take control of the weather, we can’t. But days like Abby and Ethan’s make us beyond grateful for the clients we attract; I’m convinced Abby’s smile couldn’t be any bigger, downpour or not!!

Abby had some of her mother’s wedding details on hand which made for some extra special detail photos. :)

When you’re staying in one of the new Grand Floridian rooms, make sure you look for the hidden penguin in the light fixture! :)

We loooooove a first look, especially when our couple exchanges private vows. <3

Two of Disney Weddings’ finest testing out lighting for us! <3

Each seat had one of these special cards written by the bride. <3

Abby and Ethan, thank you for letting us be a part of such a special day!! <3

Maddie + Lou : Epcot Disney Wedding

September 27, 2024 by Jensey Leave a Comment

It was love at first sight for Maddie when she met Lou through mutual friends at a concert; they were the only ones singing the “Friends in Low Place” cover together. :)

Fast forward 7 years and Lou proposed on their first trip in Disneyland, in front of Mickey’s Fun Wheel! Maddie was speechless, and it only made sense that their wedding take place at Walt Disney World. <3
